Cranfield University Nanotechnology

Cranfield University Nanotechnology

Nanotechnology involves the manipulation of materials at the atomic scale where properties can be significantly altered by the inclusion or omission of just a few atoms.

Nanotechnology is multidisciplinary in nature and finds applications in a variety of sectors. This is reflected in the breadth of applications considered as well as the type of work which ranges from materials synthesis and understanding of potential risks through to manufacturing and testing of nanoscale devices.

We serve clients from a multitude of industrial sectors. Some of our business partners include Airbus, Anglian Water, NPL, Oxford Instruments, Qinetiq, TDK and Thales.

We have worked with a number of research funding bodies and not-for-profit organisations including:

Entry requirements

A first or second class UK Honours degree (or equivalent) in a relevant science, engineering or related discipline. Other relevant qualifications, together with significant experience, may be considered.

Applicants who do not fulfil the standard entry requirements can apply for the Pre-Masters programme, successful completion of which will qualify them for entry to this course for a second year of study.

English Language

If you are an international student you will need to provide evidence that you have achieved a satisfactory test result in an English qualification. Our minimum requirements are as follows:

In addition to these minimum scores you are also expected to achieve a balanced score across all elements of the test. We reserve the right to reject any test score if any one element of the test score is too low.

We can only accept tests taken within two years of your registration date (with the exception of Cambridge English tests which have no expiry date).

Students requiring a Tier 4 (General) visa must ensure they can meet the English language requirements set out by UK Visas and Immigration (UKVI) and we recommend booking a IELTS for UKVI test.

Applicants who do not already meet the English language entry requirement for their chosen Cranfield course can apply to attend one of our Presessional English for Academic Purposes (EAP) courses. We offer Winter/Spring and Summer programmes each year to offer holders.
